Obama Defends Handling of Controversies on O’Reilly Show

President Barack Obama, in a testy exchange with Fox’s Bill O’Reilly on Sunday, defended his handling of the scandal last year involving the Internal Revenue Service, the rocky roll-out of his health law and the response to the 2012 attack at a diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya.
